How to transfer a Windows 7 upgrade from the hardware failing to another computer?

My laptop windows XP with an upgrade to windows 7 retail suffered a failure of the system, including the source of the motherboard and the power. I would use the upgrade of windows 7 on a Vista PC. How can I transfer the license to activate the operating system? (The license I have is for 3 computers - the faulty laptop was the 3rd computer, and this is the license required for transfer)

However, on re-reading your response, what problems would induce movign Vista Ultimate for Windows7 Home Premium?

There is no way supported 'Upgrade' from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Home Premium, as 'Home Premium' is a version of less. Your only option would be to make a 'custom' / pure if install Windows 7 Home Premium (you lose all the data and all the programs installed on Vista Ultimate).

    If yours is a copy retail, you don't and I don't need to.

    But if yours is an OEM copy (for example if it came pre-installed on)
    your computer, you can not install it on another computer. Your OEM
    license restricted for the first computer, on which it is installed and it
    can never be legally moved to another.

  • How can I remove Windows anytime upgrade from Win 7

    My windows 7 Home premium on my laptop has windows anytime upgrade and I want to get off the computer completely. I don't want to simply disable it or hide it, I want it on the hard drive. I found instructions online for windows vista, but I don't think it will work on windows 7, or will it? I have a HP laptop.

    This is the link I foumd to remove a vista on a Lenovo system:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=SF07-d0

    On the opening menu I click with the right button on the shortcut and open the location of the file and found 3 files with updated at any time under the name and tried to remove them manually, but got an error message that I don't have the rights to do so. The solution was to try again or cancel and try again once does not work. Yet, I'm not sure that just delete these 3 files might get rid of him anyway.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Thank you

    Please understand that shortcut link Windows Anytime Upgrade using all of the system resources. Its simply a mechanism of the operating system used to unlock the features of a higher edition. Its as you say windows to grow hair, it grows as long as provide you the key, is not as the "grown up" hair was there all along to take disk space or use of resources.

    If you look at an installation of Windows 7 Home Premium, its usually about 6 GBs, when you use the upgrade to upgrade to a higher edition like ultimate, Express size increases to 10 GB, which means basically, he never used any extra space at the beginning.

  • How can I use "Windows Anytime Upgrade" If the country where I live is not included in the list of countries where online purchase and download of the upgrade is prohibited?

    I understand that there is a list of the approved countries who are authorized to allow "sales online and downloads" of the software upgrade. However, if a Microsoft Customer happens to live elsewhere, how can it upgrade its computers?

    Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available, it is a product of the retail and retail sales and anytime upgrades to Windows 7 ended in October 2013 in all over the world.

    If you need to improve and the existing edition of Windows 7, you will need to purchase a retail package and use the product key for it with the Express Upgrade Assistant in the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading. See the following to learn more about how it's done.

  • I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

    Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

    The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
    C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

    If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.

  • Windows Easy Transfer - Trasnsfering of files to/from the same machine with the same operating system - Windows XP

    I have my old Windows XP, Media Center Edition and has been upgraded from the hard drive because my old one was a lot of noise and I feared an imminent failure. I thought that I would use Windows Easy Transfer to copy and restore all my files on the new drive. I transferred all user data on an external USB hard disk, and managed. However, when I go to restore using Windows Easy Transfer, it doesn't gives me not a choice to restore to my new computer. He sees it only as the old computer and I never have the option. Is there a work around for this?

    Hello


    1. what applications did you use to transfer the parameters is - this Windows Easy Transfer or if she files and the transfer settings Wizard?

  • On Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64 bit stops after that it says the settings and files of collection

    I am tring to install Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64-bit.  I'm to the point where it says collect files and settings, and it stops running, and then in the details it shows 3 files located in the c: users\my name\appdata\local\temp\WER followed by numbers.tmp, then version, appcompat or mdmp. (example: wer5090.tmp.version.txt)  He said that these files are the reason. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    1 disable any security software before attempting to upgrade

    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.

    4. check your hard disk for errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

    Click on "Run as Administrator"

    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    User account control permission

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

    If the upgrade continues to fail, you might want to consider doing a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Hello cdrudd, welcome.

    We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

    1. connect an external drive or flash drive
    2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
    3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
    4 choose "Command Prompt"
    5. type the following command:

    CD c:

    | Come in

    users of CD

    | Come in

    dir

    | Come in

    From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

    copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

    | Come in

    * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

    Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

    copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

    You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.
